Impressive! If you were going to drive a car on Mars, a Tesla would be a better choice than an old Vette because that Chevy will need oxygen for its 4-barrel to run. However, I didn't notice any parachute assembly, so if the car gets to Mars I don't think even Bo and Luke Duke could drive it after the landing it will make.

So excited about this. Much more powerful than the Hubble, I'm looking forward to seeing what the JWT will discover. I guess if the HUDF picked up tens of thousands of galaxies, JWT will pick up a huge cloud of hot gasses...

Actually, the Tesla Roadster "piloted" by Starman isn't going to land on Mars but will go into a perpetual Earth-Mars elliptical orbit around the sun.

I cannot believe those two boosters landed the way they did. Absolutely amazing. It's like stuff you see on scifi movies. The planning and attention to detail to pull that maneuver off is simply mindboggling.

I love Elon Musk. i wish I was smart enough to work for the guy, it would be a blast!

Did you know he's African American? Literally...

If gun control laws controlled crime, we wouldn't need cops.

Interesting but useless trivia! The landing legs on the Falcon Heavy are designed and built by All American Racers! Founded by Dan Gurney, AAR built Eagle race cars that won in Formula One, Indy, and sports cars! Dan passed away a few weeks ago! Since then we've had this successful launch and landing and the Philadelphia "Eagles" won the Super Bowl! Coincidence?😉
